    ABSTRACT
    Nobuea Kuroda et Miyanaga, 1943 (Gastropoda Cyclophoridae) is one of the least-known genera of terrestrial gastropods. An individual of this genus was collected from Jeju Island, South Korea, the first record of Nobuea from this island. Further studies are needed to investigate the taxonomic and conservation status of the Jeju Nobuea reported here.
